@Lizzie27 I've gone for aluminium as they are basically maintenance free. I don't want to have to cover them in the winter or varnish/repaint every year. It's a 6 seater with an oval table in a light grey colour. Should go with the bright pink parasol and seat pads that I have. I'll take a picture when it's set up.
Good choice @Yviestevie, we've got two sets of the small aluminium tables and chairs (our terrace is quite narrow) and leave them out all year round, as you say, they're virtually maintenance free. I try to keep the chairs tipped up so I don't accidentally sit on them when they're wet! Yours will look smashing with a bright pink parasol/cushions.
Evening folks - just thought I'd update you - Obelixx is still having problems with her t'interweb. Dopey engineers and bits not working. She has email on her phone, but it's very slow, and she can't get internet properly at all. She hopes to be back soon - if the men can get it fixed, and just wanted everyone to know she was ok
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Good to hear Obelixx is ok. Pleased to hear you are still with us @punkdoc too
@Dovefromabove meant to say a while ago I can sympathise with your problem I have been getting pains in neck & shoulders for some time too- I think mine is more muscular, or arthritis, I can't seem to get my pillow the right height tried loads of combinations nothing seems to work ah well the perils of being 27.
Thanks for the sympathy @Allotment Boy 👍. I’m training myself to sleep on my back with a very thin pillow. I’m also trying to stop wearing my reading glasses on my head all day as when I bend down I stick my chin up and forward to stop them falling off, and that pulls on the ligaments around the vertebrae in my neck. O must also spend less time on my laptop ... it doesn’t help. 🙄
Hope we all have a restful night ... sweet dreams all 🛌 😴

Have you tried a memory foam pillow, @Allotment Boy? I have one which looks like a normal pillow (not one of those funny shaped ones), and it cured my neck problem. It probably depends whether you sleep on your back or your side though (it worked for me, as a "side sleeper").
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I've just been invited to join the UK Biobank's study on coronavirus so obviously said yes. Funnily enough, I was only commenting to my daughter earlier that I was surprised they didn't seem to be involved in the research. Takes a lot of time to set up presumably. I'm going to be giving up 10 drops of blood each month. I'm only small, can I afford to lose that much!!!
